MR.. MALE MAYOR.

Austin has put her foot down sOlidly
and squarely for business and reform. In
the very handsome majority she yester-
day rolled up for Mr.. Male for mayor, she
has given unmistakable expression to her
demand for reform in the way of progress,
for substantial business growth and enter
prise. The vote yesterday was an &C
centuation of the spirit of life, of vim, of
a determination to reach out in competi-
ton with the other cities of Texas, that
has at last taken possession of our capital
city. DIR. Cummings has lived in Austin
great many years, much longer than has
Mr.Nalle; he has many intimate friends and
acquaintances In the city, and had the
election yesterday been simply a mere
matter of compliment and not of vital
importance to the interests of the city,
doubtless the vote given DR.. Cummings
would have been much larger. But the
whole issue turned upon Mr.. Male as be-
ing the typical representative of the EN-.
bodied business hopes of the city for
the future. On this issue battle was
made for him, and on this platform he
stands to-day, proudly victorious and
with the city backing him, as proudly
INDICATED in her aims and claims for
speedy rejuvenation, and means
and occasion for showing the will that
nerves and animates her. Austin stands
to-day upon better vantage ground than
ever before in her history. She has plans
an ID schemes on foot of greatest moment;
she has negotiations in sand hopes
budding into fruition, and she now has at
the head of her city government man
who inspires complete confidence, in
whose ipse dixit all rely, and man, who
from the store. house of his own rich re-
sources in business successes, can draw
precedents and plans that at every turn
will be of incalculable benefit to the city. |
Austin has taken great stride in the di-
rection of helping herself. We this
welcome Mr.. Male to the official
chair of mayor on his own account, from
the very high regard we have for him as
man, and because of the browning good
we trust, hope and believe his administra-
ton will prove to be to the city.

Worth Knowing.

Mr.. w. H. Morgan, merchant, Lake
City, Fla, WIS taken with severe cold,
attended with distressing cough, and
running into consumption in its first
stages. He tried many so called popular
cough remedies, and steadily grew worse.
Was reduced in flesh, had difficulty in
breathing, and was unable to sleep. FL
nally tried DR.. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption and found immediate relief,
and, after using about half dozen bot
ties, found himself well, and has had no
return of the disease. No other remedy
can show so grand a record of cures as
DR.. Kings New Discovery for Consump-
ton. Guaranteed to do just what is
claimed for it. Trial bottle free at Nor
ley Bros drug store.

upon the defensive. Land Commissioners
Sparks has gone, and with him, we
think, all present desire on the
part of the federal govrnment to
impeach the claim of Texas to Greer
county. Our title to that territory
strengthens as time natures rights
secured therein under our state laws and
protection. We can afford to sit still and
watch that Uncle Sam don't come too
close to us; there is no use going out of
our way to stir him up.

DEMOCRATIC FOREIGN POLICY.

Thomas jefferson, the father of the
democratic party in the United States
enunciated grand, safe and true policy
when, in his inaugural address, he said
"Peace, commerce ard honest friend
ship with all nations-entangling alliances
with none"
In line with this the democratic
national platform of 1884, declared:
ave favor an American continental
policy based upon more intimate CONNER
cial and political relations with the fifteen
sister republics of North, Central and
South America"
The most of our great domestic issues,
except the tariff, have been settled, and
it is now about time for the people of
the United States to turn their
attention to their interests abroad.
The above paragraph of the last
national democratic platform strikes the
key to the true continental policy which
should be initiated by this government.
More especially, at the present time, do
we want Mexico and the Central American
states opened up to American trade. We
need them as markets in which to dispose
of our surplus manufactures as we'll as
agricultural products.
AS to Mexico it is, Notwithstanding the
changes brought about by the introduc-
ton of railroads in that country, still
practically closed against our trade by the
Mexican tariff, which, on some articles,
amounts almost to prohibition. AS to
get one-third the trade we ought to with
them. Their combined annual imports
from other countries amount to eleven
millions, and yet of that amount
the United States furnishes but
little over three and half millions. The
same is true of Mexico, which imports
annually fortythree millions and only
thirteen millions from the United States.
The time has come for all barriers
which obstruct trade between this country
and Mexico and Central America to be
removed. We have better right
to the Mexican trade than the
English, who have managed, so
far, by shrewd political jugglery,
to monopolize it. Texas is especially in =
terested in closer relations with our
neighbors south of the Rio Grande. If
the democratic party is retained in pow er,
the american continental policy" mark ed
out by the democratic platform of 1884
ought to be a leading feature of the ad
ministration of 1882.

TEN good aldermen were yesterday
selected from the various wards to repre-
sent the people in the city council. That
body,as now composed, of those who held
over and these new members, is, perhaps,
the ablest city council that Austin ever
had. If they will now pull in unison,
and take hold of every interest of the
city with the determination of making a
success everywhere, the coming admins
tration will mark the point of time from
which to date Austins rebound to life,
energy and glorious future.

An EXTRAORDINARY Phenomenon

No other term than the above would
apply to the woman who could see her
youthful beauty fading away without a
pang of regret. Many woman becomes
prematurely old and haggard because of
functional arrangement. What pity
that all such do not know that DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription will restore their
organs to normal state, and make them
youthful and beautiful once more For
tho Ills to which the daughters of Eve are
peculiarly liable, the prescription" is a
sovereign remedy. 1t is the only medicine

tee from the manufacturers, that it will

THE bill gotten up by Mr.. Palmer, of
Michigan, restricting immigration, hits
the nail square on the head. 1t leaves
the selection of immigrants to foreign
consuls, without certificate of charac-
ter from whom no immigrant will be
allowed in the United States. Anarchists,
Mormons, and persons inimical to our
form of government, are not to be re-
ceived. That is strict business.

AUSTIN has elected the mayor she was
determined to have; now let us get to work
on the board of trade organization, and
the plans for securing railroads ana fac -
tories. The meeting of the board of trade
this afternoon, having all three of these
things in contemplation, should be at
tended by every representative citizen in
Austin. Our new mayor cannot, nor should
he be expected, to do everything for the
city. Our part is even the larger and we
should begin upon it at once One day
elect a mayor like Mr.. Male, the next add
fifty members to the board of trade and
grspple railroad to US with hooks of
steel, and Austin may well feel proud of
her two days work.

THE decision of the United States SUI
preme court, in the case from Virginia,
yesterday, is very Important and a big
victory for states rights. In the Ian
guage of the dispatch, it holds that "a
state, as political sovereignty,
cannot be sued or .coerced in the
federal courts" The decision sustains
the state of Virginia in this case, which
arose out of the debt settlement of that
state

The unprecedented majority yesterday
is an apt illustration of what concerted
action and effort will do. Let the city
work with the same zeal and energy to
secure railroads and factories as she did
yesterday to elect Mr.. Male mayor, and
Austin will, very shortly, be in the front
rank of Texas cities.

Forty.seven tax collectors have filed
their reports with the comptroller this
month. This is largely ahead of the
usual run, and shows a commendable de-
gree of promptness among the tax
gatherers.

Washington. This is the drummer tax
case, which was tried before the court of

An Epitome OF What Was
Learned at the Capitol
From ThursdaY's Daily.

Attorney General Hogg returned night
before last from San Antonio, where he
has been representing the interests of the
state in the Juan Coy case before the
federal court. Coy was extradited on
three cases for murder, and gave bond.
He was then arrested for murder com
mitted IN Wilson county, and went to
trial, the jury disagreeing. Afterwards
he sued out writ of habees corpus before
Judge Turner, United States district
Judge. Attorney General Hogg, in reP-
resenting the state, made the sole and
single point that it was not case for the
federal court, the state courts affordlng
all the opportunities for ruling that could
be had through the federal court. In this
view, Judge Turner concurred, and he
refused the writ and remanded the pris-
oner to custody with privilege of apply
ing to the state courts for relief.
The state treasurer paid out about
$4,000 yesterday, large part of which
was in salaries.

ABILENE NEREFLECTOR
TWILIGHT.

The shadows are yelling the brow OF the hills,
And vapors are soothing the murmuring rills,
While Twilight-the daughter OF sunshine and
shade
Is Queen Of the evening, in glory arraye6-
She gracefully mantles the waning Of day,
And welcomes the evening in golden array;
Yet softens the glimmering curtain of light
With shadows that melt on the bosom of night.
Triumphant she rides on the pillows of fire,
With chaplet of jewels in queenly attire;
In gold-tinted arrnor she flashes her blade,
And marshals the stars in their nightly parade /.
With coursers unheeded, undaunted they run,
Whose footsteps all follow the path of the sun,
When softly unfolding her curtain OF blue
All spangled with silver, she waves her adieu.
Thus onward forever with banners unfurled,
Her halo Of glory enrsptures the world,
While sentinel stars on the borders of night
Now herald the vast consultations Of light.
In silence its millions Of systems revolved;
In silence its problems are ever unsolved;
In silence we gaze on the boundless domain,
Where infinite order and harmony reign.
When, 10! from the verge Of the measureless
deep,
Where numberless ages all silently sleep,
Aurora emerges from cycles unborn,
With Twilight to hail the glad tidings Of morn,
United they mingle in loving embrace,
Expanding their pinions new regions to grace,
DissolYing the shadows with orient light
AND melting the stars from the bosom OF night.
While Earth, in response to the language OF
flowers
In rapture arises from star-lighted bowers;
Unvailing her features she wendeth her way
To the radiant realms of the monarch of day.
The birds sweetly carol their matinal lays
And Nature responds with her chorus Of praise.
While dewdrops that fell by invisible showers,
Are jewels af1ame on the bosom OF flowers.
thus oft in our pathway from darkness forlorn,
The tear-drops of night are the jewels of morn,
and hopes tnat are buried and shrouded in
gloom
Like seeds are well planted in fragrance to
bloom.
Every sigh that is hushed on the bosom of night |
is song as it wakens and welcomes the light, |
While hope, brightly dawning, illumines the way |
FROM Twilight OF morning TO Infinite day.
